I am reminded of the days when I studied law. We were told an old legal maxim which was "Lex injusta non est lex". It was one of the core principles of the entire concept of the legal system.
It means "An unjust law is not law."
Do with that information what you will.

Internalized guilt and shame creates a defensiveness that makes it a lot more difficult to build cultures that engage in constructive criticism and collective reflection. These things require levels of trust and vulnerability that shame-based defensiveness sabotages.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.
It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment.
It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

HOLY SHIT their responses to peer review are sooooo disingenuous.
First, they put levels A (10.6%) and B (47.5%) together to muddy the waters. Second, they assert as obvious that trans care can’t be B, even though it absolutely constitutes “consistent evidence from multiple observational studies.”

I’m happy to see trans women winning online. But there is always an icky feeling when I see internet famous queers act more like a brand than a person.
It’s why I always follow and engage with every single trans person that interacts with me.
Who cares, just want everyone to know they matter.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-
